The GAA have announced that people will no longer be able to take large bags and backpacks into Croke Park for all matches and concerts.

The new regulations, which came after a review of safety procedures at the stadium, will come into force from Sunday, 25 June 2017 - the day Dublin face Westmeath in the Leinster Senior Football Championship semi-final.

Supporters and concert goers will be able to bring smaller bags that measure no bigger than A4 (8.27in/21cm × 11.7/ 29.7cm), but are encouraged to bring no bags where possible as they may be searched on entry to the stadium.

The move by Croke Park follows similar new regulations imposed by the the Aviva Stadium who had a "no bag policy" for Ireland's recent international matches against Austria and Uruguay.

A statement from the GAA said: "Following a review of safety procedures with the relevant statutory authorities, Croke Park can confirm that as of Sunday, 25 June 2017, patrons will not be permitted to take large bags and backpacks into the stadium for all match day and concert events.

"Smaller bags will be permitted but may be subject to searches and patrons are urged not to bring bags at all where possible."
